Deep brown to near-black, opaque body with minimal light transmission. A dense, tan head forms and persists, leaving fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. Low carbonation evident from the gentle, slow-rising bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Roasted Malz and dark chocolate dominate, joined by sweetness reminiscent of caramel and nougat. Peanut notes emerge on closer inspection, underscored by a subtle coffee character. The overall impression is rich and dessert-forward, with no sharp hop presence.

◐ Taste

Sweet entry with full-bodied creaminess from milk sugar coating the palate. Chocolate, caramel, and roasted grain flavors build in the mid-palate, accompanied by a nutty, candy-bar character. Bitterness is restrained (18 IBU), allowing confectionery sweetness to dominate through to swallow.

Serve at 10–14°C

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
